Justin Bieber's dad enabling him, says former friend

Justin Bieber's dad, Jeremy Bieber, isn't such a good influence on his son, according to In Touch Weekly.

This is terrible news and, frankly, hard to believe. What's next -- Lindsay Lohan's parents not influencing her in a positive fashion?

"Jeremy loves his kids more than anything, but he's enabling Justin's partying," former family friend Cory Bernier told the magazine. "When Justin was 18, I saw Jeremy give him (prescription painkiller) Percocet. He said, 'Try one of these, son.' Justin liked the feeling and decided to go four-wheeling after taking it and ended up crashing into a pond."
